yes Ive searched,
Since the temp gauge wasnt (pegged cold) working and the rad hose going to the top of the radiator (thick one) is cold. All the other hoses were very warm. I figured the T-stat was stuck open so I
just replaced the T-stat (195 deg. from autozone OEM replacement) And let it warm up for a while and the rad hose is still cold and the gauge isnt working. The heater blows hot, what else could it be? Does the upper rad hose supposed to get hot like all the others? The motor doesnt seem to be running hot at all.
 
bttt
 
Yeah. I think so. I jacked the ass end all the way up and with the bottle open I loosened the coolant temp sensor and let the air escape until the coolant spilled out. Then I put the cap on and lowered it back down.Ans still nothin
 
You need to repeat that process about 6 times to get all the air out.
